Marca revealed what Kylian Mbappé did after receiving a red card in Real Madrid’s match against Alavés on Sunday.
After the final whistle, the French star was seen going to Antonio Blanco, the player who had violently tackled him, and apologizing.
Mbappé then entered the Real Madrid dressing room and apologized to his teammates for what had happened and for putting them in a difficult position during what had been a very difficult match.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side won 1-0 thanks to a goal from Eduardo Camavinga, maintaining their four-point lead over Barcelona at the top of La Liga.
The referee had stated in his report that Mbappé had violently tackled the ball while trying to gain possession, making the longest suspension a three-match suspension, which will be limited to La Liga only.
Thus, the 25-year-old is likely to lead Real Madrid against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final, scheduled for April 26.
